Hi Everyone.
I hope this finds everyone reading it well and eager to start a new week at Gibson!
We have a lot of things coming up and not a lot of time so being focused and prepared is essential to our learning.
Here's what we are getting in to this week:
Reading: Our class just wrapped up the Chocolate Touch. We enjoyed learning a little about chocolate and tasting it. We have moved on to Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis. I LOVE THIS BOOK. The characters are so lifelike and funny that it's hard to put done. Please ask your child what he or she has read so far.
Math: We are starting on Adding and Subtracting fractions. I know that this sounds like a HUGE ordeal, but really it's quite simple. The add and subtracting also allows us to practice more reducing fractions. In "addition" (no pun intended), students should continue to work on their multiplication facts. This will help greatly with fractions.
Scholastic Studies Weekly: We are going to start using the Scholastic Magizine for our Science as well as social studies. It is very kid-friendly and has some interesting articles that they can relate to. I will be collecting them at the end of the week so please make sure they are taking good care of them.
Spelling this week deals with the "aw" sound--also, bought, cough, almost, false, officer, soft, stalk, halt, faucet, saucer, caution, lawyer, awesome, stall, crawl, awful, because.
